seventyeight;I have been on wellbutrinXL since I was diagnosed in 2007. I am also on a mood stabilizer. I haven't had any major issues with it, but have had to decrease or increase the dose depending on symptoms. i.e. in the summer I was on 150 mg and since September I am back on 300 mg.

I have been on the generic wellbutrin (not XL) and I found it didn't work for me.

An anti-d without a mood stabilizer is a recipe for disaster. For some people with BP even with a mood stabilizer he or she cannot tolerate anti-d's.
